Eldest son of Christian IX  King of Denmark 1906-1912  1869 married to Louise,  Princess of Sweden Daughter of King Carl XV  of Sweden and Queen Lovisa,  Princess of The Netherlands.

Because of the king's early death after only 6 years on the Danish throne, there are very few Danish stamps showing him, and none showing his wife, Queen Louise. Instead I have shown above a Danish Christmas Seal 1907, displaying the couple.  The photograph below right shows the royal couple and six of their eight children. The two missing children are the two youngest, Prince Gustav and Princess Dagmar. The photograph was taken in 1885. Click on the image to see an enlargement. The link will open in a new window. 

Upon King Frederik VIII's death in 1912, his eldest son, Crown Prince Christian, assumed the Danish throne as King Christian X. Other than Denmark he was King of Greenland and the Faeroe Islands, these two countries being part of the Danish Commonwealth.  King Christian was finally King of Iceland until 1944, where the country became an independent republic, as well as he was the head of state of the former Danish West Indies, ceded to the US in 1917.  

Until 1975 The Faeroe Islands used Danish stamps; as the king passed away in 1947 there are no "local" stamps depicting him or his wife, Queen Alexandrine, who he married in 1898, and who gave birth to two sons, Crown Prince Frederik (IX), and Prince Knud (the latter never depicted on stamps).

Queen Ingrid of Denmark (the Queen Mother) does not have her roots in the Glücksburg Family; she belongs to the family through her marriage to the late King Frederik IX. She was a daughter of the Swedish King Gustav VI Adolf (1882-1973), who belonged to the Swedish House of Bernadotte, originating in France.
